Original Idea:
Our original idea was just to have the sub-theme of 'reflection', but as we progressed we realised there was a lot of correlation between the photo's leading us to decided upon 'reflection in light and darkness'. I first imagined the pieces having a mainly warmness or soft feeling about the photos. In terms of content, subject and form, I imagined water trickling gently with a glint of light reflecting off it slightly. The form being nice smooth objects emitting a warm glow of light. Finally, the subject being anything that produces a reflection such as water, metal, the moon and glass. Our original audience was a large variety, from people who can appreciate planned out photography, to people who just enjoy seeing a sight.
Production:
For my original idea, I were going to take a photo of the moon, as it reflects the suns light but coincidentally, it were the time of the month where to moon could not be seen. But even more coincidentally, when I were out with friends, I noticed cobwebs reflected by the sun. I noted down the time and returned the next day with my camera. I took various photos and decided on one. The subject of the photo dramatically changed from the moon, to the cobwebs, which in my opinion has more of a feel or impact to it rather than the moon everyone has seen. The form changed from the soft glow of the moon to the sharp reflection of the light. The cobwebs have more of an impact on people who can look past a picture rather than just try and guess what it is.
Exhibition:
At first I envisioned our photo's being displayed in pairs, one light and one dark, in a powerpoint presentation. But after a short talk with my group, I realised that they would need to be shown individually before being shown together. I believe you get to focus more on each photo rather than the one that stands out more when they are shown separately. This gives the viewer more chance to truly appreciate the originally not so striking images. To conclude what generally people think more about of the photos, we did a small research including six people; three interested in art and three not interested in art. The conclusion of the research gave us reliable accurate results proving that people who appreciate art or are interested in it could define the themes of our photos and the others could not.
This is our finished product.
